I would rate this school above average in experience. It's an excellent school!

My experience as a parent of a graduate of class 2023 of this school excellent staff and teachers who have the students best interest at heart this school as great opportunities for kids 7 -12 a business school like no other Mr. Barnett and Mrs.Strong are excellent principles and they have 100% graduation rate there at Jones Leadership academy excellent pto .

I have 2 kids attending Old Orchard Elementary and we’ve lived in the community for since 2013. We are very happy with the administration and staff. Our kids are loved, challenged, and safe. The ratings here are tough to see but are where they are due to systematic issues, not from what happens on a daily basis at the school. That said they are improving and the investments being made by the school system, especially at the high school level, are exciting and will begin to return results soon. We are TPS proud!

First off I’m a ex student here and these people were terrible there were the teachers that never helped you there were the bad people who always started drama the ridiculous amount of homework the terrible bathrooms the very disrespectful gym teacher that is now retired so you won’t have to deal with him but he was still there the fact that sometimes there wasn’t enough food at lunch there was the kids in higher grades that treated the ones in lower grades like trash especially the 7th graders the fact that the directors never cared about your side of the story and were quick to suspend you and last but not least how they will not help you if you need it now there are some that will like the Lego teacher or the social studies teacher heck even the science teacher but sometimes the explanations would be dry don’t even get me started on the math teacher who would never help you with his outrageous amount of homework I’m talking 4 assignments a day all I’m saying is this school is terrible you can send a straight A student there and expect them to get f’s and no it’s not that the school is harder it’s that they give no explanation and lots of homework please for the mental and physical health of your child do not send them here during my time here I grew very depressed and my anxiety was just really bad there please I’m begging you. Oh and on more thing I forgot to mention was the kid who sexually assaulted people and he only got yelled at and his schedule changed while other people got kicked out the guy who literally sexually assaulted me and my friends got to stay now I’m finally done……….. now let’s talk about how dirty the school is that bugs coming out the water fountain the bugs inside the lights the roaches crawling around in bathrooms and classrooms oh right I almost forgot the rats that run around the whole building mainly in the engineering labs you know this school sucks I promise you don’t make you child suffer please

Excellent staff and teachers who have the best interest at heart of students they really work with the kids and teach the girls of to be young ladies .

This is a great school! My son graduated in 23 and is now a junior in the college of engineering. My daughter is graduating in May with an associates degree and a high school diploma and will start her third year of college in the fall. TEC prep students who will go to college to be able to excel past incoming freshman from high school, because they have prepared so well. The amount of homework they get is a lot but again it’s to help them be able to carry the load that college classes will give them. My children have excelled in their early college classes and in their college classes. My daughter maintained a 4.0 in her college classes for over two years And when my son finished high school he had over 55 credits and my daughter will finish high school with 62 credits. This is a plus for the parents whose child will go to college. It will take a large load off financially, and the students will become more able to either continue school or begin in the workforce. I read the other reviews and I still believe that this school is the best if you want your child to go to college and they want to go to college then preparing them for that for free is a blessing.

MLK school for boys..great school for boys...love the principal and the teachers...I love the idea "caught being good" and you get rewarded. That means they are really paying attention to the student and not just in the class room.
